Training Workshop “Biodiversity conservation actions – The Biodivine Project” The BioDiVine project - Demonstrating functional biodiversity in viticulture landscapes is a European LIFE + project, following from a partnership between ADVID and various French and Spanish wine regions. The aim of this project is to implement conservation initiatives such as cover crops, sexual confusion, installing hedges, covering headlands, in order to foster the presence of animal biodiversity. In the Demarcated Douro Region ADVID is responsible for fostering and implementing these conservation initiatives among its Members, which have joined-in quite significantly.
